Discussion of Happening Here cover

[noola chan]

Its not so bad as i accepted
she sound so pretty, and she made the song much better than the original in ma opinion
but i really hope that she don't sing this song in AT11
she has many many amazing songs i can't understand why would she pick this one =|

[Sandy]

It's not horrible in my opinion. I think it's kind of funny,but is it a good song? No, not really. Cute, gets me in a good mood. I'm okay with this song, as long as it won't be released as a single and it's not gonna get a lot of spotlight. This can't be a concert-hit, or I think my head will explode >.< But, let's focus in the present

Isn't it a digital single already?

[happiholic★]

I love her NOTHING FROM NOTHING era, hence why I love her rapping, but the rest of it is just weird.

[Corvina]

It sound so cheap. Don't know the original from TRF, but yeah, I do think the song is ..horrible.
I really like that her voice sounds so clear, but actually I'm not too fond of her "rapping".
Also it sounds a bit messy. And her English isn't that great again and I don't understand why seeing she's speaking it quite alright.
And that guy rapping, no, thank you, lol.
Even though it's not meant to be taken that seriously, I really don't want to see it live, haha.
I just don't like it.

IA
This is my exact opinion,
I don't mind if she wants to do things this and that but this song with special treatment as AT theme song is just completely no

[isthisLOL?]

The special treatment will probably consist of singing it in the encore.

[truehappiness]

I don't think it's really that special to be the "ARENA TOUR/CDL" theme song...

It's like the 'music.jp' tie-up of the concert world.

I think to make it a real digital single (like Together When...) there would be a cover and a bit more promotion than just two days notice.

I believe it's going to be the openning theme for the concert... maybe even without live singing, the studio version and something happening on the stage

[truehappiness]

I thought that too, but she was setting up 'do it again' to be the opener for HOTEL Love songs after last CDL.

I guess we'll see though.

[visionfactory]

I feel bad for all your negative commentaries guys, you can't expect Ayu to do the same style of music over and over...

Personally I like this song very much and yes, it's very retro-ish, very different

[isthisLOL?]

For me seeing happening here as opening would just feel awkward and untypical for Ayumi, her openers ALWAYS had something epic about them and happening herewould be the first time that doesn't work with the song.
WHATEVER at CT00 S1
A Song for XX at CT00 S2
evolution at DT01
I am... at AT02
ST02 was an exception since it was very much about having fun and dancing and was a stadium tour
ourselves at AT0304
HAPPY ENDING at AT05
Born to be... at AT06
evolution at AT07
talkin' 2 myself at AT08
Rule at AT09
Microphone at AT10
and even forgiveness at PoM

All were big and sound big, too. And seeing how HOTEL Love Songs is themed happening here as an opener would feel very out of place to me. But it may be played before the first song...still it sounds extremely encore to me.

[Andali]

It's a different sounding song but I've never heard the original but it sounds old school. Reminds me of Nothing from Nothing. It's fresh but the rap is annoying

[KPL]

it might either be the last song of 本篇 or the first song of encore.。

[joshohhhhh]

it's so nice to be able to hear her. it doesn't sound like she is layered and phased beyond recognition. terrible song, especially the man at the end, but she is rising. glad to hear her not taking things so seriously and just play around with music.

[CHE.R.RY]

I agree on the song being solid until the rap part at the end...it was really cheesy sounding honestly. I don't know how I feel about it yet. It's just alright.

[Eewyi]

This is a new territory for ayu, and personally, even this kind of semi-pop-rap-style will probably be only this one cover, I just love it.
This is as fun as A, which I really liked too. Ayu can still rap~
You can more clearly hear that this is indeed a cover, because this is really typical TRF style, unlike teens, which was like it would be ayu song.
Although this doesn't give that kind of feeling, this is really good as a cover. And this will be really nice opening song!

So I like this~ Something unique [for ayu] and really fun! TRF-like yes, but sounds good with ayu too! Definitely like~

And I don't understand your attitude for this kind of "ayu must sing only deep and thoughtful songs, not anything fun!" Whatever. Deep is deep, yes, and I appriciete ayu for that, but I like this kind of funny, not so serious songs too. So let ayu make them too. I would love to have some fun and simple songs for the next album as well, along with the deeper ones.
Epic doesn't mean it will be a masterpiece.

[ayumimylove]

Sorry but I didn´t like it, Just Horrible, I mean, I appreciate the effort of giving us something different... but It didn´t work, her english is a mess I can´t even understand what she´s saying, and her rapping..... terrible.

Sorry Ayu but I DO want more of the same, ballads, pop or rock.

[George]

It's not terrible but I probably won't ever listen to it again. This has been said before but it sounds so cheap. The worst part is the guy "rapping", I can't even.
